This house was built for Dr. Julius Lowenstein, who in late 1884 established a major wholesale liquor house. He remained in Statesville as a prominent part of the Hebrew community until the early 1900s when he and his brother-in-law went to Atlanta, Ga, and produced a line of candies known as "Norris Candy," The house was then purchased by the Bunch family and was used for some time as a funeral home...
The Lowenstein House was moved from its original site on West Broad Street sometime between 1980 and 1999. At its original site, it was critically endangered of being demolished by the First Presbyterian Church. To save the house, it was moved one block south-southwest of its original parcel and on its new site it retains it original north-northwest
